Alpaca giving birth

Trinity having her first cria.

Trinity is an alpaca. Their gestation is 330-350 days long (give or take a month!). Alpacas are smaller than their close cousin the llama. Alpacas are raised for their luxurious fiber while llamas are raised more often for pack animals or pets.

Alpacas are very stoic animals. The only sound you hear coming from her is the occasional hum or maybe a small grunt when she's pushing hardest.
